Deferral of Form 5500 Schedule G Filing Requirement

    The purpose of this notice is to announce that the Pension and 
Welfare Benefits Administration (PWBA) has decided to defer 
indefinitely the mandatory utilization of the Schedule G of the Form 
5500 Annual Return/Report.
    The Schedule G was developed to provide uniformity in the reporting 
of assets held for investment, assets acquired and disposed of during 
the plan year, reportable transactions, and other information required 
to be included as part of the Form 5500 Annual Return/Report. 
Utilization of the Schedule G for reporting such information was 
optional for the 1992 and 1993 plan years. It was the intention of the 
PWBA to require utilization of the Schedule G for the 1994 and 
subsequent plan years. However, the PWBA has since determined that 
further review of the Schedule G and the information required to be 
reported thereon is warranted before mandating utilization of the 
Schedule. For this reason, mandatory utilization of the Schedule G is 
being deferred until further notice from the PWBA.
    Plan administrators are cautioned, however, that while completion 
of the Schedule G is not mandatory, the information required by that 
schedule is nonetheless required to be included as part of the Form 
5500 and reported in accordance with the applicable instructions to the 
Form.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT; Eric A. Raps, Office of Regulations 
and Interpretations, Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. 
Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210, [phone] (not a toll 
free number).

    Signed at Washington, DC this 10th day of May, 1994.

Assistant Secretary, Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration.
